The blood of his body recoiled before it. The blood was alive, like the dog, and like the dog, it wanted to hide away and cover

itself up from the fearful cold. So long as he walked four miles an hour, he pumped that blood, willy-nilly, to the surface; but now it ebbed away and sank down into the recesses of his body. The extremities were the first to feel its absence.
–“To Build a Fire,”
Jack London

In a group discussion, which sentence is most clearly challenging the credibility of a source?
Svetlanka [38]

The correct answer is C. Although Peterson's comments may have been valid at one time, his book is over 30 years old.


This sentence is challenging the credibility of Peterson's book because it is old. At one point, his arguments may have been correct, but this has certainly changed over time given that over 30 years have passed since he published his book. Now, there are newer opinions about the topic, so he isn't a credible source anymore.
